Drop/Add

Students should consult their advisors before dropping or adding courses to their schedules. All drop/add processing can be done via the Student Self-Service menu at MyMoreheadState. Students should consult the academic calendar to determine drop/add deadlines. Students dropping a course should also refer to the appropriate refund schedule for possible adjustments to their tuition charges. Dropping a course could affect eligibility for financial aid and/or housing.

Withdrawals

A student's academic record needs to reflect an official withdrawal. Entitled refunds are not made unless the withdrawal is properly recorded. If a portion of your account was paid by federal financial aid, you might have to repay a portion of these funds to the University. Please review the Return of Title IV Funds Policy for more information.

Students cannot withdraw from all courses in a term through MyMoreheadState. To withdraw from the University, a student must complete a withdrawal form with the Office of the Registrar. Withdrawal forms should be emailed from the student's MSU email account and sent to registrar@moreheadstate.edu. Forms can also be mailed to the Office of the Registrar, 201 Ginger Hall, Morehead, KY 40351. All requests for withdrawal must be received by 11:59 p.m. or be postmarked by the last day to withdraw as published by the University academic calendar.

Medical Withdrawals

The Medical Withdrawal Policy (UAR 130.04) provides guidelines and procedures for graduate and undergraduate students with exceptional health circumstances requiring withdrawal from the University after the normal withdrawal period. The required forms and policy are listed on the Medical Withdrawal website. A hard copy of the policy and forms may be obtained by contacting the Office of Undergraduate Education and Student Success at 606-783-2003.

In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Morehead State University policy, non-directory information (city/state or hometown) from your official cumulative file may not be released without your written consent, except to persons engaged in the proper performance of university duties.

You also have the right to inspect, review, and challenge all official educational records, files, and data directly related to you. Request for access to such records must be made in writing to the Registrar, Morehead State University, 201 Ginger Hall.

Questions concerning this law and the University policy may be directed to the Office of the Registrar.
